The Beaches of Siuntio: Karskog

Karskog beach

Karskog beach is located in Siuntio. It offers excellent facilities: a beautiful lake, a diving tower, and a football field. What more could you ask for on a beautiful summer day?

Karskog beach

The beach is initially shallow and then deep, and I understand it's a combination of sand and rock. Swimming lessons have apparently been held here. Vikträsk lake is small, clear, and deep.

Karskog beach

There is no actual sandy beach, but rather a swimming spot in the middle of the forest.

In the background are the toilets, and in the foreground is a lifeguard booth. These buildings are not collapsing, it's just the "fisheye mode" of the lens I used.

Diving tower within walking distance

Now for the exciting part. On my first visit, I didn't know there was a diving tower here. It's perhaps a little over a hundred meters away, along a path.

On the way, you pass over magnificent cliffs. These photos are from August 2018, a dry summer, hence the autumn hues.
